At one time or another I have taken both of these meds. When I was on Risperdal I was taking 2 mg twice a day. At this level I did feel sedated and chose to drop it as I felt nothing happening after a week. My own experience with the anti-psychotics is that I notice a change within a few days.
Now, I take 7.5 mg of Zyprexa at night. I have found it to be a good augmentation for my AD's. It all comes down to your personal reactions to each drug but the one thing I can say is that you are starting on a very small dose. If you are med-sensitive this will probably be the best route to try.
